Chapter 400 Liu Mei
When Xu Qingshan heard this, his face turned cold and he simply turned his head away, not looking at Madam Zhang's expression.
He just uttered a few words firmly: "Mother, I will not go back with you. Now, Liu Niang has become what she is now because of me. If I leave now, wouldn't it be unkind and unjust to her?"
"How could I do this to her? She loved me with all her heart, protected me, and accompanied me, but I abandoned her at a time like this. I have not taught my son the ways he has learned in his life. I would be an ungrateful person, so I will never leave her."
"I think you are really stubborn." Madam Zhang became even more angry after hearing this. She looked at him and said, "You don't have to go back, but you must leave her here."
After saying that, Madam Zhang pointed at the woman behind her.
Xu Qingshan looked up, thinking that the woman was still the maid in his previous home, but when he looked up for the first time, he saw a new face.
"Who is she?"
Xu Qingshan couldn't help but ask out loud.
The woman slowly raised her eyebrows, bowed to Xu Qingshan, and then shyly hid behind Aunt Zhang.
"How is it?" Madam Da Zhang smiled slightly, looked at Xu Qingshan and said, "This is the daughter of the Liu family, Liu Mei, and she is also old enough to get married."
"It's a pity. Her father is such a jerk. He got into gambling a few years ago and owed a lot of money to others. Later, he was unable to repay the debt and wanted to use his own daughter to pay off the debt. The child was so young and was almost sold to a brothel."
"I saw her on the road and felt sorry for her, so I asked him to go home with me to redeem her. Besides, this child is sensible and will never do something like your cousin. You should just keep her by your side. As a mother, I don't ask you to give her a name. As long as you treat her well and keep her by your side as a female servant, that's enough."
When Mrs. Zhang said this, her tone suddenly softened.
There was a hint of kindness in the look he gave Xu Qingshan.
Now Xu Qingshan finally understood what Madam Zhang meant. He was afraid that she accepted this woman just when she learned that Liu Niang had a miscarriage.
Xu Qingshan remained silent. He was about to say no, but Gu Yuanniang on the bed fluttered her eyelashes and slowly opened her eyes.
Although she was unconscious just now, she could hear clearly what was happening in the outside world. Knowing that Xu Qingshan would naturally refuse, Gu Yuanniang sat up immediately.
Seeing that Gu Yuanniang woke up immediately, Xu Qingshan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He ran towards Gu Yuanniang, carefully helped her up, and said to her, "Mrs. Xu said that you are still weak. Why don't you lie down for a while? Did mother and I bother you here? Let's go out and talk. You should have a good rest."
Seeing Xu Qingshan was about to leave, Gu Yuanniang grabbed his hand and shook her head at him, then bowed to Madam Zhang beside her.
Looking at her, he said, "My daughter-in-law has been ill in bed for a long time and is unable to pay respect to you, madam. Please don't blame me, madam."
Mrs. Zhang also relaxed her brows when she saw Gu Yuanniang's look. She looked at her and said, "Good child, since you are so sick, please don't worry about me. You should take good care of yourself."
Seeing Madam Zhang's tone, Xu Qingshan was a little shocked, thinking that she also felt sorry for Guo Yueniang, but who knew that the next sentence would make Xu Qingshan feel like he was struck by lightning.
Madam Zhang slowly sat down at the side, looked at Gu Yuanniang and said, "You are so young, but you lost your child for no reason. And I heard that it will be difficult for you to have children in the future!"
When Gu Yueniang heard this, she tightened her grip on the hand. Before, Xu Miaomiao was afraid that she would be too sad, so she had kept these things from her. But after hearing what they said just now, Gu Yuanniang guessed something. But for some reason, when the facts were laid out in front of her, she still found it difficult to face it.
I always feel a little uneasy in my heart: "Madam is right, it is indeed difficult for me to have children, but Qingshan is the only heir of the Xu family, and I will never let the Xu family die because of me."
Gu Yuanniang lowered her eyes. Xu Qingshan didn't know what Gu Yuanniang said, and for a moment he couldn't say anything.
Madam Zhang raised her lips slightly when she heard this: "Good boy, you are right to think so. Think about how much hardship and torture you and Qingshan have experienced together. You almost lost your life several times."
"My Xu family was peaceful before, but since the marriage with your family, it has become so miserable. However, his father and I just hope that the Xu family can continue like this. This is our only wish. If you don't satisfy me, what do you want us to do in the future?"
Gu Yuanniang nodded, then slowly raised her eyes and looked at the woman in front of her: "This must be Liu Mei."
"Hello, madam." When Liu Mei heard this, she immediately bowed and saluted to Gu Yuan's mother.
Gu Yuanniang looked at her and laughed, then said, "She has red lips, white teeth, and a slender waist. She is indeed a stunning lady. I believe that with her accompanying Qingshan, Qingshan will definitely be well taken care of in the future."
Madam Zhang smiled brightly upon hearing this, and holding Liu Mei's hand, she looked at Gu Yuanniang and said, "Yes, yes, before, I thought she was capable and would not cause trouble. With her accompanying you two, she would definitely take good care of you two."
"Sixth Mother, what do you mean?" Xu Qingshan was indeed a little dissatisfied when he heard this, and spoke while looking at Gu Yuanniang.
Gu Yuanniang shook her head and looked at Xu Qingshan: "Madam Liu came all the way to Bai County to find us and brought us such a close friend. Why shouldn't we accept her? Besides, I think this Madam Liu is a well-behaved and sensible girl. She will definitely share a lot of worries for us."
"Sixth Mother, you know very well that this Liu Mei is..." Xu Qingshan, before he could finish what he wanted to say, was immediately stopped by Gu Yuanniang.
"Okay Qingshan, don't say any more."
Seeing that Gu Yuanniang had let go, Mrs. Zhang was also delighted. She immediately called Liu Mei to sit aside, took Gu Yuanniang's hand, and began to speak.
"From now on, you two should serve Qingshan well. Liu Mei will also take good care of you. Besides, Liu Niang, you will not have to suffer the pain of childbirth in the future, and you can enjoy the pleasure of being a legitimate mother. Isn't this a good thing?"
